Glossary
RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture.
Using these signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on
the tape.This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C
signals are combined to provide only one video signal.
NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System: Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different
standards: BG, DK, I, and L L’.The
System setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.This is not
to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in
France, Russia and most African countries.The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.
The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.
16:9: Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.
Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.
Tips
Poor reception

Cleaning the set
Still no results?
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost
pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting your picture: see
Fine Tune (p.6) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your
antenna enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or VHF
band)?
Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right
system? (p. 6). Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often
the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can become
half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections.
If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound,this means that you do not have
the correct TV system. Modify the
System
setting (p. 6).
The amplifier connected to the TV does not deliver any sound? Check that you
have not confused the audio output with the audio input.
The TV set does not react to the remote control; the indicator on the set no
longer flashes when you use the remote control? Replace the battery.
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode.
To save power, your set is fitted with components that give it a very low power
consumption when in standby mode (less than 1 W).
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of your
set. Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
Disconnect the mains plug of the TV for 30 seconds then reconnect it.
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your
dealer's after-sales service.
